Rotational-vibrational excited states of axially symmetric nuclei with different mass parameters

Abstract

Excited-state energies and $E2$ transition probabilities have been calculated for the four well-deformed nuclei considered in the recent work of R. V. Jolos and P. von Brentano, using the three mass parameters proposed in their work, while also taking into account the interplay of rotational and vibrational modes. The Davidson potential is used as a potential of the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ vibration. The same approach is applied to the odd ${}^{173}\mathrm{Yb}$ nucleus.
